A man looks at the crowd of angry spectators. "Any last words?" the executioner asks. "Just five." He answers and then yells at the crowd "I don't own fruit baskets!"
Chapter 11
Old acquaintances
The man that Hiro was bugging was also riding in the same bus as Hiro. Hiro being the smartass that he is pushed his luck again. "You don't scare me." He said to the man. The man motioned for Hiro to get closer, he then whispered. "Last warning boy, you bother me again and your friends if you have any which I doubt will be sending you get well cards from the hospital bed. Capeice?" Hiro partially nodded his head "good. Now leave me alone."
When they arrived they looked at the resorts sign "welcome all were people, we hope you like your stay and enjoy yourselves at the tournament." Hatori's exact thoughts were 'what have we gotten into.' After getting into the resort each got their own rooms. After unpacking most of them went to the pool. All sorts of people were swimming and Shigure was gawking. "What's the matter never seen a mermaid before?" one of the swimmers asked. She then dove down into the water and then leaped in to a huge arch and splashed him. "What the hell is going on here?" Yuki asked as looked at the people swimming and sunbathing. "This is a place where a person of our cursed can relax and prove who the best is."
Most of the Sohmas turned toward the voice and saw a woman that only Kyo recognized. "Vixenly." "Hello Kyo glad you could make it. Heya tigoar nice to see you here as well." Akira turned and looked at where she was talking to and was partially surprised. This was the man that had threatened him! A man clad in sandals, shorts and a shirt saying don't get mad, have fun with it? He didn't look dangerous at all. Shigure then tried to make a move. "Hey I saw you on the bus, care for a date later?" She lowered her sunglasses and shot him down immediately "nice try but I'm not interested in hound dogs." Shigures only thought was how did she know that? Aya then did his laugh and slapped Shigure on the back "crash and burn Shigure."
"Tigoar!" a loud Russian voice called out. Tigoar barely side stepped as two huge hairy arms reached out to hug him. The arms belonged to one of the hairiest man most of the Sohmas had ever seen "Ivan you wild animal." Tigoar then leaped onto Ivan's back and both fell into the pool. "Crazy Ivan it's been so long since you and I partied!" Tigoar said as both he and Ivan got out of the pool "than tonight my stripped friend we drink like Russians do! I see you later friend" Ivan than walked off to go dry himself. "Who the heck was that?" Kyo asked as he gave tigoar a towel. "Ivan Dregof, but around here he's known as Crazy Ivan for the way he fights. He goes into a berserker rage when you get him angry enough. His form is that of a polar bear." Tigoar then saw someone he thought he recognized. "I'll be back later." He said then wondered off.
At that time Shigure suddenly heard a voice "sensei!" "Oh, no." Was all Shigure said as he was suddenly grabbed by his publisher. A loud explosion later all she was holding was Shigures clothes and a dog. "He tricked me again!" She suddenly screamed and stormed off and began looking again. Aya then laughed "looks like you finally broke her!" Shigure then whispered to Hatori. "Make sure you erase her memories after all this is over." Hatori then sighed to himself.
"I'm so glad the detective didn't track us up here." A voice said to a Chinese looking man dressed in a Chinese dress. "Come now t-Chan you know even he couldn't track us to this place." The person he was talking to was a man dressed in Arabian clothes and horns were on his head. "I'll be damned it is you." Tigoar said as he approached the Chinese man "hello Mr. Iscar, it has been a while since you came by my shop." The Chinese man answered. "Care for some tea Count D?" Tigoar asked "I would be glad to Mr. Iscar." Tigoar then looked at the horned man "been quite some time hasn't it Tetsuio." "It has been awhile tigoar, I'll leave you two alone while I get my dinner." Tetsuio then turned away from the two and walked off. "So who's he going after?" tigoar asked count D "some girl from bus d." Tigoar suddenly thought for a second. "That was my bus, did this girl perchance have a cat backpack?" Count D thought for a second himself "yes she did, do you know her?" Tigoar then began to chuckle "not quite but Tetsuios in for the fight of his life, especially if he insults her boy friend."
